	EVANGELINE	THE BAND/EMMYLOU HARRIS

Capo 2rd Fret  ( 3rd fret for original Band version )

D7      G

G
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
			D7
Alone in the pale moonlight

Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler,
				G
Who said that he'd re-turn tonight

She used to walk on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Hummin' the whole night thru'
Send the riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
And bring it on back to you.

Chorus

  C            G          D7          		G     C    G
Evangeline, Evangeline, curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
       D7           G
That stole her man away

Bayou Sam, from South Louisianna 
Had gamblin' in his veins
Evangeline, from the Maritime,
Was slowly goin' insane

High on the top of Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river, the boat was a-sinkin'
She watched that Queen go under

Chorus ( x 2 )
